password textbox must match

[reel_biggy_fish]

Hi,

 

i am really struggling to think what to search for or even what to do.  what i want to do is when a user wants to change his or her password i want two textboxes and both must match before they can continue so they dont make a mistake and never login again. could someone point me in the direction of what to search for.

 

would be very helpful

 

thanks in advance

EDIT: Sorry, just noticed that this is in the JS section, not the PHP section. Anyhow, if you want to validate the fields with PHP, this will help

 

Form field validation. Something like this (brief) example should get you started:

 

<?php
if( $_POST['submitted'] == 'yes' ) {
     if( $_POST['pass_1'] != $_POST['pass_2'] ) {
          // fields don't match, so do something to indicate the error . . .
     }
}
?>
<form action="" method="post">
<input type="text" name="pass_1" />
<input type="text" name="pass_2" />
<input type="hidden" name="submitted" value ="yes" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit Form" />
</form>

Another useful function is

 

      if(empty($login_Username) || empty($login_Password)) {
            throw new Exception("Error, Please enter your Username and Password!");
      }
